TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will start the sale of GR Supra GT4 to North America in August 2020

The GR Supra GT4 is based on the GR Supra - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's first-ever global model released earlier this year - and is developed and produced by TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH ("TMG").

A three-liter inline six-cylinder engine with single twin-scroll turbocharger has been tuned to 320kW^*3 (430hp) with a 7-speed sports automatic transmission with paddle shifters and the mechanical limited slip differential driving the rear wheels. An Akrapovič exhaust system will be fitted and Ravenol will provide first-fill lubricants.

The front splitter and rear wing are made of natural fiber composite, contributing to an overall weight of 1,350kg^*3(2,976 lbs.). Following the specification of the GR Supra road car, the front suspension will be MacPherson strut, and rear suspension will be multilink with KW dampers at the front and rear.

The braking system is enhanced through the use of a dedicated brake caliper for racing, six-piston front and four-piston rear, while running on Pirelli tires.

Safety will be a priority and the GR Supra GT4 will be installed with a high-strength roll cage on the lightweight steel body, and an FIA-standard racing seat with six-point harness. The interior will feature a carbon fiber instrumental panel with a display and steering wheel specifically designed for GT4 competition.
